Q: Why is there no option to turn on only GPS from airplane mode?

I use my iPad along with Jepp FD for in flight navigation. This works quite well, except for the large battery drain. GPS is a battery hog, but coupled with the 3g chip continuously 'searching' for a network, it consumes a full charge of the iPad faster.

 

Just as the iPad allows one to switch on wifi and Bluetooth while remaining in airplane mode, it be good to have a GPS toggle option.
